Fast Draft

If life is like a printer,
I would like mine set to "Best"
with every nuance, every serif
clear and clean and elegant.
"Best" gives you time, it doesn't
rush, the very pace adds to the
value of the content.
Instead, I feel my life is often
set to "Fast Draft" with the papers
flying out so quickly I don't catch
them all, they jumble, somehow,
on the floor below and I must take the
time to rearrange them, catch my
breath. Sometimes my chair wheels
smudge the copy, too. Oh well.
I guess it's what is on the page
that matters, and if someone
will care enough to hold it,
read it, ruminate.
